    The Tsukiji Outer Market was super crowded, so I went to 'Tsukiji Uogashi' behind the market. You can buy seafood on the first floor—I got a seafood rice bowl and two boxes of sashimi for just JPY 2,600. After shopping, I went up to the third floor to eat. There weren't many people there, so it was really comfortable to sit and enjoy my meal.

  • I really love Sushi Kiyomura at Tsukiji Market. They have a great variety of sushi, and the cheapest single piece is just 150 yen. Tastes pretty good too!
